We tried several free trial martial arts classes in the area before ultimately choosing Texas Kickboxing Academy with Mr. Ricaurte for our 12-year-old. The basic course runs about $200 per month, and any additional uniforms must be purchased through the academy. While they aren’t inexpensive, it’s clear the pricing helps support the training center and the program they provide. When we attended our free trial, there was a same-day sign-up special that included one uniform, wraps, and gloves, which made getting started much easier and was definitely worth it. We’ve now been attending for a couple of months and have already noticed significant improvements in our child’s discipline, focus, and commitment to physical activity. Prior to starting kickboxing, activity levels were fairly sedentary, so this has been a great change. The instructor team, especially Mr. Ricaurte, is incredibly dedicated to teaching. Even in group classes, they make a point to work with each student individually on areas where they need additional guidance. It truly feels like a “no student left behind” environment, where every student receives attention and encouragement. Overall, we’ve had a very positive experience and are glad we chose Texas Kickboxing Academy.

I recently had the pleasure to enroll my son of training at Texas kickboxing Academy , and my experience exceeded all expectations. The academy not only provides expert martial arts instruction but also cultivates a supportive and inclusive community. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also passionate about sharing their knowledge. They create a positive learning environment, ensuring that students of all skill levels feel welcome. The emphasis on technique, discipline, and physical fitness is well-balanced, making the classes both challenging and enjoyable. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for effective training. Additionally, the academy's commitment to safety protocols, especially in the current times, is commendable. What sets Texas Kickboxing Academy apart is the sense of camaraderie among the students. Whether you are a beginner or advanced practitioner, everyone is supportive and eager to help each other improve. This sense of community fosters a motivating atmosphere that encourages continuous growth. Overall, the time my son spent at Texas Kickboxing Academy has been transformative. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking not only to master martial arts but also to be part of a fantastic community. Best regards, Ramses !

I can't say enough good things about my son's kickboxing class at TKA!!! He has shown remarkable growth in both his skills and confidence since joining. The instructors are incredibly supportive, providing personalized attention and encouragement that really helps the kids thrive. The atmosphere is energetic and positive, which motivates him to push his limits every session. I’ve noticed not only improvements in his technique but also in his discipline and respect for others. It’s wonderful to see him so passionate and excited about something that also keeps him fit. Highly recommend this class for any young aspiring martial artist!!!!

100% recommend! Everyone here is so sweet and family oriented. I love that at the beginning of every class Mr.Ricaurte reads a quick health story based on the curriculum and he ends the class with a fun activity. Mr.Perez makes sure to guide and reassure the children. All in all the whole team is lovely! Thank you all for being wonderful!
